Important Safety Information

Explanation of Attention Words and Symbols used in this guide

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal

injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid

possible injury or death.

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION, used with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous

situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate

injury.

NOTICE is used to address practices not related to personal injury.

• When children are present in the home, it is important to consider

the pet door during child proong activities, the pet door may

be misused by a child resulting in the child accessing potential

hazards that may be on the other side of the pet door. Purchasers/

Homeowners with swimming pools should ensure that the pet

door is monitored at all times and that the swimming pool has

adequate barriers to entry. If a new hazard is created inside or

outside of your home, which may be accessed through the pet door,

Radio Systems

Corporation recommends that you properly guard

access to the hazard or remove the pet door. The closing panel or

lock, if applicable, is provided for aesthetic and energy efciency

purposes and is not intended as a security device. Radio Systems

Corporation will not be liable for unintended use and the purchaser

of this product accepts full responsibility for oversight of the

opening it creates.

• Power Tools. Risk of severe injury; follow all safety instructions for

power tools. Be sure to always wear proper safety equipment.

• The user, prior to installation, must become familiar with all

building codes that may affect the installation of the pet door and

determine, along with a licensed contractor, its suitability in a given

installation. This pet door is not a re door. It is important for the

owner and contractor to consider any risks that may be present

inside or outside of the pet door, and any risks that may be created

by subsequent changes to your property and how they may relate

to the existence and use, including misuse of the pet door.

• Be sure to use heavy scissors for cutting the core covers.

• If cutting a metal surface, be aware of sharp edges to prevent

injury.

• Keep these instructions with important papers; be sure to transfer

these instructions to the new owner of the property.

• If painting the pet door, it is recommended to paint it prior to

installation. For best results, use a primer for plastics before

applying paint.

• If homeowner’s door or other application is not level, the pet door

must be marked level to swing properly.

• Cut out correct size template. For the Large no cutting is required.

If installing in a wall, reduce cut-out width by 1” for the Small and

Medium. For the Large, reduce cut-out width by 1” (25 mm) and

cut-out height by 1” (25 mm).

• When applying cutting template there should be a minimum of 3”

(76 mm) between the bottom and sides of the door and the outer

edge of the template to maintain the structural integrity of the door.

• Make sure there is nothing underneath the door where you will be

drilling the holes or cutting out opening.

• Use a manual screwdriver to tighten screws. Do not overtighten.

Overtightening can strip the screws or warp the pet door frame.

Cut Pet Door Opening

3A Drill ½” (13 mm) holes in inside corners of drawn

template. These will be the pilot holes for the saw blade.

Helpful Tip:

Use both hands to hold drill steady and straight

at a 90° angle.

3B Beginning in one of the holes just drilled, cut along the

drawn template lines. After cutting out the opening, you

may need to recut to square the opening. This is necessary

for the pet door frame to t correctly.

Helpful Tip:

Apply masking or painter’s tape on bottom of

jigsaw and outer edges of drawn template to protect door

nish. Use a le to remove burrs after drilling and cuttting

to make cutting and installation easier.

Helpful Tip:

Use proper saw blade length and type according to

door thickness and material (for example a wood blade for a wood

door and a metal blade for a metal door). Cut slowly using both

hands to hold the saw steady and straight at a 90° angle. This

will prevent the blade from cutting unevenly between interior and

exterior sides of the door.

Fit Core Covers

4A Measure the thickest part (T) of your cut-out. Note

this measurement.

4B Cut the grooved side of the plastic core covers and

core cover supports to equal the cut-out thickness (T) of

your door + ⅞” (22 mm).

4C Place cut edge of bottom core cover toward you with

ribbed side facing up. Snap left core cover support into left

end of “T”-shaped rib on bottom core cover. Snap right core

cover support into right end of “T”-shaped rib on bottom

core cover. With channel sides facing in, align uncut edge

(side with one rib) of side core covers with uncut edge of

core cover supports. Slide channel of side core covers onto

tab of core cover supports to form a “U”-shape.

4D Slide weather strips into channels of side core

covers. Weather strips should face inside. Weather strips

may need trimming to meet at end of side core covers.

4E Snap uncut edge (side with one rib) of assembled core

covers inside bottom and side tabs of interior frame (frame

with 2 aps). The bottom core cover should be at bottom

of interior frame. Weather strips and ribbed sides (uncut

edges) should face ap. Snap the uncut edge (side with

one rib) of top core cover inside top tabs of interior frame.

Uncut edge (side with one rib) of top core cover should face

ap. Core covers may need trimming to meet at corners.

Optional

Optional:

corners of core covers to help secure

in place and to improve weather

resistance. Cut off any excess tape.

Install Pet Door

Before putting away jigsaw, place the exterior frame (frame with 1 ap) into the

underside of the opening to check the t. If the screw holes on frame are not visible through

cut-out, you may need to recut opening before proceeding with the installation.

5A Place interior frame (frame with 2 aps) into

cut-out. Next place exterior frame into

cut-out from under side of door, inserting core

covers inside tabs of frame. Hold frame

together. Insert nylon screws through holes in

interior frame into holes in exterior frame. Thread

a hex nut onto bottom of each screw.

Helpful Tip:

Use saw horses, table or other work surface to

hold exterior frame in position while installing pet door.

Helpful Tip:

Look through screw holes to help align interior

and exterior frames.

5B Place foam strip under interior frame for additional

insulation. Cut off any excess.

Helpful Tip:

Use a screwdriver to tuck the foam strip under

as you work around the frame.

5C Use a screwdriver to evenly tighten screws through-

out frame while keeping core covers in position. It may be

necessary to adjust screws to make sure pet door t

is correct.

Helpful Tip:

Look though ap opening to check if core

covers are in position as you tighten the screws.

5D Use wire cutters to trim screws ush with exterior

frame.

Optional:

Caulk around the exterior frame (frame with

one ap) and inside threshold where core covers meet for

weather resistance.

Step

Optional

NOTICE

Use a manual screwdriver to tighten screws. Do not

overtighten. Overtightening can strip the screws or

warp the pet door frame.

Train Your Pet

6A Rehang your door and begin training your pet. It may

help for you to be on one side of the door and your pet on

the other. Lift or tape open ap and try to talk your pet

through the pet door. After your pet has gone through a few

times, allow the ap to touch your pet’s back so they will

become comfortable using the pet door. If your pet will not

go through the door, tape the ap open until they use it on

their own.

Helpful Tip:

Try treats or toys to encourage your pet to

go through the pet door and become comfortable using it.

Closing Panel

Extreme Weather Pet Door™. It is useful during inclement

weather or to keep your pet from using the pet door.

Voici un symbole d'alerte de sécurité. Il sert à vous signaler d'éventuels risques

de blessure. Respectez tous les messages de sécurité qui accompagnent ce

symbole pour éviter les risques de blessure corporelle, voire la mort.

AVERTISSEMENT indique une situation dangereuse qui, si elle

voire la mort.

AVERTISSEMENT utilisé avec le symbole de sécurité indique

une situation dangereuse qui, si non évitée, pourrait résulter

en des blessures mineures ou modérées.

et n'est pas relié à une quelconque blessure.

•

Lorsque des enfants vivent dans la résidence, il est important

de prendre en compte la chatière lorsque vous rendez votre

maison à l'épreuve des enfants, car si elle est mal utilisée, elle

offrira un accès potentiel à des dangers qui pourraient se trouver

de l'autre côté. Les acheteurs et propriétaires possédant une

piscine doivent s'assurer que la chatière est toujours surveillée

et que la piscine est entourée d'une barrière adéquate y

empêchant l'accès. Si un nouveau danger est créé à l'intérieur

ou à l'extérieur de votre résidence pouvant être accédé par la

chatière, Radio Systems

Corporation recommande de sécuriser

l'accès à ce danger adéquatement ou de retirer la chatière. Le

panneau de fermeture ou verrou, le cas échéant, sont fournis

dans un but esthétique et de conservation d'énergie et ils ne sont

conçus pour servir de dispositifs de sécurité. Radio Systems

Corporation ne sera pas responsable d'une utilisation involontaire

et il est entendu que l'acheteur de ce produit accepte l'entière

responsabilité de la surveillance de l'ouverture qu'il créé ainsi.

•

Outils électriques. Risques de blessures graves; suivez toutes

les instructions de sécurité pour les outils électriques. Assurez-

vous de toujours porter les équipements de sécurité adéquats.

• L'utilisateur, avant l'installation, doit se familiariser avec tous

les codes de construction pouvant affecter l'installation de

la chatière et déterminer, en conjonction un entrepreneur

autorisé, la pertinence de son installation. Cette chatière

n'est pas une sortie en cas d'incendie. Il est important

pour le propriétaire et l'entrepreneur de considérer tous

les risques présents à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur de la

chatière, ainsi que tous les risques pouvant être créés suite

à des changements effectués sur votre propriété et comment

l'existence et l'utilisation de la chatière, y compris une

mauvaise utilisation de celle-ci, peut représenter un danger.

• Utilisez des ciseaux lourds pour découper les revêtements du

centre.

• Si vous découpez une surface métallique, faites attention aux

rebords tranchants pour éviter toute blessure.
